Our shop Gritr Sports & Outdoors was proud to be a major sponsor of this year’s Mansfield Cares Ball recently held on February 18, 2017. The Mansfield Cares volunteer organization is a non-profit group that works everyday to assist those in need in the local community. Every year, Mansfield Cares holds their biggest fundraising event, the Mansfield Cares Ball. This year marked the 18th annual Ball, and Gritr Sports & Outdoors was honored to provide items for the live and silent auction as well as gift bags for all the attendees who donated to the cause. We were also live at the event this year to assist with the auction.
This year Gritr Sports & Outdoors selected a Limited Edition Remington 1911 R1 Pistol for the live auction. This classic 1911 pistol design released in 2016 commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Remington Arms Company. All of them were bid on and taken home by attendees to this year’s ball.
